Postdoc in policy instrument evaluation at MCC in Berlin

MCC is searching for a new postdoc in policy instrument evaluation. Solving the climate crisis requires the brightest minds. If you enjoy working in a very collaborative, supportive, and international team, you crave to understand what climate policies work, when, and why, and you feel that policy should be informed by the best available scientific evidence - then you may want to apply for this position in MCC’s Applied Sustainability Science (APSIS) group!

Here is the job description.

The job will contribute to the second phase of the ARIADNE project - Germany's largest interdisciplinary research program to provide rigorous evidence for informing the German energy transition. Note that this particular position will work from a global evidence base, but derive insights for the German context. The work will involve conducting high-quality meta-analyses, the development of systematic review ecosystems for evidence-based policy and providing earlier applications of "living evidence" in the climate policy space. A couple of relevant references are attached.

The work will also be relevant for other on-going efforts to shape the global evidence base for upcoming IPCC and other climate science assessments around the What Works Climate Solutions Summit.

Application deadline: December 31, 2023.
